I have mono from source (svn) on ubuntu, you need to checkout this 3 items:

  svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mono
  svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mcs
  svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/libgdiplus

Some days ago, i add reference to Compiling [1] on IncompletePackage [2] wiki page beacause i was having the same issue.
